The 1865 Patterns, specifically the P10c, are examples of experimental coins created as part of a proposed redesign of U.S. currency. These pattern coins were struck to test new designs and compositions before final production. The 1865 P10c features a unique design and is known for its rarity and significance in numismatic history, often sought after by collectors for its historical value and artistry. Patterns like the P10c are typically not released for general circulation, making them particularly valuable in the collectible coin market.
